Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council established a framework for support services for homeless people and rough sleepers experiencing severe multiple disadvantage. The requirement covers three service areas: supported accommodation with support only; outreach and co-ordination; and integrated specialist support. Services are delivered across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, with the framework available to current and future local authorities in both counties, including successor authorities following local government reorganisation and the East Midlands County Combined Authority. The work combines accommodation-based social support, outreach, guidance, counselling, welfare, rehabilitation, vocational rehabilitation, community action and community health services. It is a public-sector social care and homelessness opportunity, led by Nottinghamshire County Council for use by local authorities across the two counties.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure under the light-touch regime. It used a framework with call-offs either by direct award to the highest-ranked capable supplier or by further competition. Lot 1, Support in Accommodation – Support Only, was awarded on 8 June 2026 to Fortix Ltd, Framework Housing Association and People Potential Possibilities for £250,000,000 net (£300,000,000 gross), with the contract signed on 1 July 2026 for 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2034. Lot 2, Outreach & Co-ordination, was awarded to Framework Housing Association and People Potential Possibilities on the same terms and dates. Lot 3, Integrated Specialist Support, reached final status on 8 June 2026 without an awarded supplier. Quality counted for 80% and price 20%.

This requirement shows sustained local-authority demand for specialist homelessness and rough-sleeper services across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, delivered through a multi-authority framework. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would need credible experience supporting people with severe multiple disadvantage, including accommodation-based support, outreach and co-ordination, welfare, counselling, rehabilitation and links to community health services. The successful supplier group included a small private company and large voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that both commercial providers and mission-led organisations can compete when they can demonstrate strong service quality. A credible competitor would also need the operational capacity to work across the two counties, support local-authority call-offs, and respond either to direct-award requirements or to further competitions. Quality is the dominant evaluation consideration, so robust delivery models and evidence of outcomes would be central.
